It's
a
historical
place
situated
in
Sulem
Sarai
near
Chaufatka
over
bridge
on
G.T.
Road.
This
is
not
a
simple
tamarind
tree.
This
is
a
witness
to
India's
independence.
This
tree
has
seen
the
revolutionaries
dying
in
front
of
us.
This
tree
is
witness
to
the
martyrdom
of
dead
people
for
the
country.
Where
is
this
tree
?
Let's
tell
you
...
This
tree
is
maintaining
a
special
place
in
Indian
history.
It
is
known
as
the
Bawani
tamarind
tree.
On
28
April
1858,
the
British
had
hung
52
revolutionaries
together
on
the
hanging
trap
hanging
on
this
tree.
With
this
tree
neutral,
the
revolutionary
Jodha
Singh
Attaiya,
who
was
immersed
in
the
nose
of
the
British,
and
his
51
companions,
directly
revealed
the
martyrdom.
Bawani
is
located
in
Paradan
near
Khajua
town
in
the
Bindki
subdivision
of
Fatehpur
district
of
Uttar
Pradesh.
This
place
is
famous
for
the
Thakur
Jodha
Singh
Attaiya
and
his
companions.
Thakur
Jodha
Singh
was
a
resident
of
Attaiya
Rasulpur
village
(now
Padhra)
of
Bindki.
From
the
time
of
revolution
of
1857,
they
started
going
to
be
known
as
revolutionary
Jodha
Singh
Attaiya.
Jodha
Singh,
influenced
by
Rani
Laxmibai,
surrounded
a
Durga
and
an
English
soldier
in
Mahmudpur
village
on
27
October
1857.
On
December
7,
1857,
attacked
the
Gangapar
Ranipur
Police
Chowk
and
killed
the
British
persecuted
traitor.
Their
revolutionary
faction
robbed
the
government
treasury
by
making
Tahsildar
captive
in
Jehanabad
the
following
day.
Due
to
the
looting
and
burning
of
government
offices
by
Jodha
Singh
Ataya,
the
British
declared
them
a
mobster.
On
returning
to
Khajua
with
his
51
colleagues
on
April
28,
1858,
Colonel
Christy's
army
took
him
captive
along
with
all
the
51
associates,
and
all
were
hanged
on
this
tamarind
tree
together.
The
extreme
extent
of
vandalism
was
that
the
dead
bodies
were
not
even
removed
from
the
tree.
For
several
days,
the
body
hanging
on
this
tree.
On
the
night
of
May
4,
along
with
his
armed
companions,
the
local
King
'Bawani
Imli'
came
and
dropped
the
dead
bodies
and
buried
them
in
Ganga
Ghat
of
Shivrajpur.
Martyrdom
Day
is
celebrated
on
23
March
in
the
memory
of
revolutionaries
Bhagat
Singh,
Sukhdev
and
Shahgad
of
Rajguru,
but
here
on
28th
April,
martyr's
day
is
celebrated
in
memory
of
these
52
revolutionaries.
This
tamarind
tree
has
become
a
symbol
of
Amar
Saput
of
Bharat
Mata.
Even
today,
on
the
28th
day
of
martyr's
day,
people
arrive
at
other
national
festivals
to
pay
floral
tributes.
Jai
Hind
